Halfway through!
We hope you have enjoyed your daily libation thus far.
Sunday 12/12.
Halfway.
Time to refresh.
Enjoy this world class saison that basically sets the benchmark for the style.
Originally saison, meaning “season” was a farmhouse beer brewed typically in one season for enjoyment in another. A means to keep your best farmhands employed and working through the cold weather, while refreshing your entire team during the busiest of days on the farm.
So on this Sunday - sit back and enjoy. The crisp carbonation, pale malts with fresh bread notes and peppery Belgian yeast spice should help refresh your palate and prep you for the final stretch.
Often am I asked “What’s your favorite beer?!” Such a difficult question to answer with so much variety and variation.
Often I answer that question with a question. “Do you mean my deserted island beer?” Meaning that if I were on a deserted island or could only have one more beer for the rest of my life.
Well if that were the case… it might just have to be this beer.
Enjoy 🍻

Fridays always hit a little different. Cruising into the weekend with no cares… like a kid with a full pouch of sour patch kids, rolling around the neighborhood on their bicycle ready for the what the weekend would bring.
Well this isn’t a pouch, it’s a Pooch! Our favorite kind of Pooch - a Sour Pooch. So for the first Friday of our calendar we had to deliver a treat.
If you haven’t had Brindle Haus, do yourself a favor and enjoy anything you can from them. From their pilsner, to their old school IPA, they bring their A-game. They are most known for their sours, and this pup won’t disappoint. A staple brewery here since we’ve opened.
Cheers to the weekend 🍻
